Re: 3-motor transmissions
3 motor shifting in 2005 with 696. Didn't really need nor using. Not a smart decision.
3 motor shifting in 2008 Overdrive with 968. Worked fantastic, but we ended up changing the robot design, and borrowing two motors off the drive. Robot accelerated noticeably slower without them. Geared for around 21 fps top speed that year.
3 motor single speed in 2012 with 696. Worked great. Geared for pretty good speed, gave extra torque to get over the bump, push robots up bridge, etc. Never a problem.
